Goff completed 14 of 26 pass attempts for 137 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 15-9 win over Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Goff wasn't asked to do much in this contest, as the Lions were carried by their defense (three turnovers) and running game (30 carries for 118 yards) in a win over a divisional rival. The veteran quarterback converted a pair of short touchdown passes to salvage what would have been his lowest passing output of the season. Goff has now thrown for 2,041 yards with 14 touchdowns (seven picks) through eight games, putting him on pace for his first 4,000-yard season since 2019 with the Rams. The Bears are on tap for Goff and the Lions next Sunday.

Goff completed 27 of 37 passes for 321 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Lions' 31-27 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed once for three yards.
EDGE Analysis
Goff and the Lions offense opened the game hot with a pair of first-quarter scoring drives, the second which the veteran quarterback capped with a seven-yard pass to D'Andre Swift. That would end up being Goff's only touchdown toss of the day, but his yardage total was his second highest of the campaign. Goff also couldn't successfully complete a deep pass to Josh Reynolds on 4th-and-1 from the Dolphins' 35-yard line with 2:59 remaining, and he never got another opportunity with the ball due to his defense failing to force a punt from Miami. Goff will look to build on his strong production in a Week 9 home showdown against Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Goff completed 21 of 26 passes for 228 yards with two interceptions while rushing once for four yards with two lost fumbles during Sunday's 24-6 loss to the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
The Lions offense has had a hard time overcoming injuries to key offensive playmakers lately, and it didn't help Goff that Amon-Ra St. Brown (concussion) eventually joined D'Andre Swift (shoulder) and DJ Chark (ankle) on the sidelines before halftime. While Goff still managed to dink and dunk his way into scoring position a couple of times, his four total turnovers -- including three on the first four possessions of the second half -- doomed Detroit's chances of a come-from-behind victory. The bright side is that this offense led the league in many offensive categories when at full strength over the first few weeks of the season, and it is possible the unit could get back on track in Week 8 against the Dolphins with the possible returns of Swift and St. Brown.

Goff completed 19 of 35 passes for 229 yards with one interception while rushing three times for seven yards with one fumble during Sunday's 29-0 loss to New England.
EDGE Analysis
Despite the returns of Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jonah Jackson, Goff had a hard time getting the ball out and coughed up a fumble that was returned for a touchdown in the second quarter. A Lions offense that entered the day leading the league in both yards (436.8) and points (35) per game ultimately didn't come close to either number despite racking up some yardage in garbage time. Even worse, Detroit went 0-for-6 on fourth down and did not even get off a field-goal attempt. With Detroit now sitting at 1-4, it's probably an opportune time for the team's bye week to come around in Week 6. The possible return of DJ Chark (ankle) could help Goff get the offense back on track in Week 7 against Dallas.

Goff completed 26 of 39 passes for 378 yards with four touchdowns and one interception and added one yard on his sole rush attempt during the Lions' 48-45 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday. He also recorded a two-point conversion rush and completed a two-point conversion pass.
EDGE Analysis
Goff's eye-popping stat line is all the more impressive when considering the veteran quarterback took the field without D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle). Goff adapted extremely well as the game went on, focusing heavily on tight end T.J. Hockenson, who he hit for eight of his completions, 179 of his yards plus 32- and four-yard scoring tosses, along with the two-point conversion pass. Goff also connected with Josh Reynolds and Justin Jackson for three- and two-yard touchdown passes in the fourth quarter to keep the never-say-die Lions within striking distance, but the wild rally from a 31-15 deficit fell short when an onside kick following the Jackson TD was recovered by the Seahawks. Goff's yardage total was easily a season high, while his quartet of touchdown throws tied his Week 2 tally against the Commanders. Goff will naturally hope to have at least some of missing weapons back for a tough Week 5 road trip to New England.

Goff will be playing Sunday's game against Seattle with a depleted receiving corps, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Not only will Detroit be down D'Andre Swift (shoulder), Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) and DJ Chark (ankle), but top tight end T.J. Hockenson (foot) and Josh Reynolds (ankle) are playing through injuries, per Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press. While Goff could still be productive in an inviting matchup against a beatable Seahawks defense, his upside is not what it would have been if he had his usual arsenal of receiving weapons.

Goff completed 25 of 41 passes for 277 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 28-24 loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Goff was excellent in the first half, racking up 179 yards and a touchdown on 24 attempts. However, he slowed significantly in the final two quarters and failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in a game for the first time this season. He's done a good job taking care of the ball three games into the campaign, but otherwise, his 6.7 yards per attempt and 58.9 completion percentage look remarkably similar to his numbers last year with the Lions.

Goff completed 20 of 34 passes for 256 yards with four touchdowns during Sunday's 36-27 win over Washington.
EDGE Analysis
Goff continued his good play at Ford Field and has now thrown multiple touchdowns for the sixth consecutive home game. This outing was one of his most impressive, as he averaged a relatively efficient 7.5 yards per pass attempt while hitting paydirt four times. He could have had a fifth had DJ Chark corralled a deep pass on a flea flicker early on. In any case, with a steady run game to keep the offense humming and multiple explosive weapons at receiver, Goff is well positioned to have plenty of productive games as the season rolls on. Next up is a Week 3 matchup on the road in Minnesota.

Goff completed 21 of 37 passes for 215 yards with two touchdowns and one interception during Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Eagles. He added nine rushing yards on two carries.
EDGE Analysis
It doesn't seem right to say Goff led his offense to five total touchdowns since Lions running backs averaged more yards per carry (6.6) than Goff averaged per pass attempt (5.8). Plus, the difference in the game was an unlucky pick-six he threw in the second quarter that was the result of Goff getting hit while he was throwing. However, the addition of DJ Chark and the continued focus on feeding Amon-Ra St. Brown and T.J. Hockenson in the passing game ultimately helped Detroit put up more points than it did in any game last year (except for the season finale when Green Bay rested select starters). Next up for Goff is a home matchup against a Commanders defense that will remain without star defensive end Chase Young (knee).

Coach Dan Campbell noted Monday that Goff won't play in Sunday's preseason finale against the Steelers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Campbell indicated that other key healthy starters on the team are in line to play about a half, but the Lions will play if safe with their starting QB this weekend. In that context, Tim Boyle and David Blough are in line to split signal-caller reps versus Pittsburgh.
